Although to be honest, the only survivors of the Titanic I can actually recall are entirely fictional. I think I have a vague memory of Dick Cavett's, Time Was, or maybe, Remember When, series talking about the many ethnic minorities on the Titanic, and how tragically few of them survived, compared to the wealthy passengers.

Those were both great series. I loved them as a kid growing up in the 70s and early 80s. They were my first introduction as history as an interesting and engaging subject.
(NEW UPLOAD!) "Remember When: The Image Makers" - from HBO - part 1 of 4!
